Palin rallies Madison Tea Party crowd (a crowd of thousands)
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel ^ | 4/16/11 | Tom Kertscher

Madison — Speaking to a tea party rally ringed by protesters outside the state Capitol, Sarah Palin defended Gov. Scott Walker's stance against public employee unions and then took aim at both the national Republican Party and President Barack Obama.

The former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee addressed a crowd of thousands that was whipped by sleet and near-freezing temperatures nearly one month into spring.

“You don’t have to vote for Trump to like him. the more voices for the cause the better, don’t be threatened by anybody.”

I agree - it’s not an either or situation - at least not this early in the campaign. We need all the ammo we can get against Dumb’O and the Rats.

You can be sure they won’t be holding anything back. This is war!

That’d piss him off (’cause it’s true). He said if it were between Trump and Palin, he’d go with Palin, so he’s still in my good graces, although he almost fell from them!

*Did you go?*

I couldn't, I had to babysit two grandkids. Palin had thousands today, Trump had hundreds, yet he is the latest hero on FR. Go figure.

And the FReepers answered one another as they posted, and said,"The Donald has drawn his thousands and Palin her ten thousands." Soetoro was very angry; this refrain galled him. "They have credited Palin with tens of thousands," he thought, "but me with only astroturf. What more can she get but the Presidency?"

Cheers!

Would that be the same Trump that called for Bush 43 impeachment?

“Amazingly, there was no police presence to separate the opposing sides”

That explains how the union thugs got so close. Disgusting to see the police not protecting the good folks coming to hear Sarah.

Having Donald Trump talk about running is not a bad thing in my view. I’m a Palin supporter, but the reality is she has yet to announce. Same thing with Donald Trump. BOTH of them seem to be on a “let’s see who can slam Obama harder” kick. Why would any of us have a problem with that?

Competition is healthy. It’s better when it forces *all* of the opposition candidates to stop pulling their punches.

Heck, even Mitt and the rest of the gelded old party standbys may start manning up a bit as a result.

We need more Palins and fewer people who tell us we have to “make nicey” with Democrats.

That’s hard to calculate. He is a liberal running as a conservative lately and trashing Obama. So many dems may be turned off by that. I fear he may pull more from our side than theirs since apparently he is able to change his stripes enough to fool a lot of people

I’m thinking there are too many fair weather Pail supporters out there.

I'm thinking that you are right!

There may be some who will be stubborn and can't bring themselves to accept that they made a mistake about Trump.

From my own recent bitter battles, the real problem with these folks appears to be that Palin is a woman and Trump is a man. That's the long and short of it.

Having been there (many "rows" back on the right of center stage), I could not count the crowd, but it was big...and loud.

I did manage to overhear one of the opposition (and yes, there is a well defined opposition) say that, ". . . Palin is so biased."

I was going to engage this "patriot", but saved my breath and just walked away. There are none so deaf as those who refuse to hear. It is impossible to open a dialogue with someone - or anyone - who refuses to objectively hear both sides.
